Tekst piosenki
Oh, come all ye gallant Irishmen
I’ve a story I’ll relate
I’ll tell to you of the Fenian men
Who from the foe escaped
Though bound with Saxon chains
In a dark Australian jail
They struck a blow for freedom
And for New York town set sail
On the seventeenth of April
In the year of 'eighty-three
The gallant bark Catalpa from
Fremantle town did flee
She showed The Green above The Red
And she calmly made her way
Prepared to take those Fenian men
To safety o’er the sea
Here’s to the ship, Catalpa
And the boys of Uncle Sam
And to all the Irishmen afloat
And the Fenians to a man
Here’s to Captain Anthony
Boyle, Breslin, and his crew
When challenged by The Empire’s might
The stars and stripes he flew!
Then Breslin and brave Desmond
And Catalpa, taught and trim
When fast approachin' them they saw
A vision dark and dim
It was the gun-boat Georgette
Among their deck there stood
One hundred hired assassins
To shed the patriot blood
My ship is sailin' peacefully
Beneath a flag of stars
It’s manned by Irish hearts of oak
And manly Yankee tars
And that dear emblem to the fore
So plain for to be seen
'Tis the banner to protect o' mine
Ol' Ireland’s flag of green
Here’s to the ship, Catalpa
And the boys of Uncle Sam
And to all the Irishmen afloat
And the Fenians to a man
Here’s to Captain Anthony
Boyle, Breslin, and his crew
When challenged by The Empire’s might
The stars and stripes he flew!
One hundred years have passed and gone
Since the day in New York bay
All sorts of floats and ships and boats
Were there, hip-hip-hooray!
They say the day three-thousand men
About the rescue, knew
Not a word was spoke and it was some joke
On John Boyle’s navy, too
And here’s to Captain Anthony
Who well these men did free
He dared the English navy men
To fight among the sea
Too John Devoy, his name held high
And all friends to be seen
The flag for which our heroes fought
Was Ireland’s flag of green
Here’s to the ship, Catalpa
And the boys of Uncle Sam
And to all the Irishmen afloat
And the Fenians to a man
Here’s to Captain Anthony
Boyle, Breslin, and his crew
When challenged by The Empire’s might
The stars and stripes he flew!
Here’s to the ship, Catalpa
And the boys of Uncle Sam
And to all the Irishmen afloat
And the Fenians to a man
Here’s to Captain Anthony
Boyle, Breslin, and his crew
When challenged by The Empire’s might
The stars and stripes he flew!
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Chodźcie wszyscy waleczni Irlandczycy.
I 've a story I' ll relate
Opowiem ci o fenianach.
Który przed wrogiem uciekł
Choć związani Saskimi łańcuchami
W ciemnym australijskim więzieniu
Zadali cios za wolność.
And for New York town set sail
17 kwietnia
W roku ' 83
Kora gallant Catalpa z
Miasto Fremantle uciekło
Pokazała Zieleń ponad czerwienią
/ I spokojnie sobie poszła.
Gotów wziąć tych Fenian.
Do bezpieczeństwa na morzu
Za statek, Catalpa.
I chłopcy wujka Sama
I wszystkim Irlandczykom na wodzie
I Fenian do człowieka
Za kapitana Anthony ' ego.
Boyle, Breslin i jego ekipa
Gdy kwestionuje się potęgę imperium
The stars and stripes he flew!
Następnie Breslin i dzielny Desmond
I Catalpa,
Gdy szybko się zbliżali, zobaczyli
A vision dark and dim
/ Align = "left" /
Wśród ich pokładów stały
Stu wynajętych zabójców
Przelać krew patriotów
My ship is sailin ' peacefully
Beneath a flag of stars
Jest obsługiwany przez Irish hearts of oak
And manly Yankee tars
And that dear emblem to the fore
So plain for to be seen
To sztandar, by chronić minę.
Flaga Irlandii
Za statek, Catalpa.
I chłopcy wujka Sama
I wszystkim Irlandczykom na wodzie
I Fenian do człowieka
Za kapitana Anthony ' ego.
Boyle, Breslin i jego ekipa
Gdy kwestionuje się potęgę imperium
The stars and stripes he flew!
Sto lat minęło i minęło
Since the day in New York bay
Wszystkie rodzaje pływaków, statków i łodzi
Tam, hip-hip-hura!
They say the day three-thousand men
/ Align = "left" /
Ani słowa nie padło, a to był jakiś żart.
W Marynarce Wojennej Johna Boyle ' a też
Za kapitana Anthony ' ego.
Kogo ci ludzie uwolnili?
On
To fight among the sea
Too John Devoy, his name held high
And all friends to be seen
Flaga, o którą walczyli nasi bohaterowie
Flaga Irlandii
Za statek, Catalpa.
I chłopcy wujka Sama
I wszystkim Irlandczykom na wodzie
I Fenian do człowieka
Za kapitana Anthony ' ego.
Boyle, Breslin i jego ekipa
Gdy kwestionuje się potęgę imperium
The stars and stripes he flew!
Za statek, Catalpa.
I chłopcy wujka Sama
I wszystkim Irlandczykom na wodzie
I Fenian do człowieka
Za kapitana Anthony ' ego.
Boyle, Breslin i jego ekipa
Gdy kwestionuje się potęgę imperium
The stars and stripes he flew!
